Taguig City, Philippines | January 13, 2025—Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), the country’s leading consumer finance company, is taking a significant stride toward promoting wellness and community engagement with its first-ever fun run, Takbo #ParaSaLife. Set to happen on Feb 16 at Parqal in Aseana City, this event invites Filipinos to kickstart the year on a healthy and active note.
Organized in partnership with WeKenRun, a local running group established by well-known marathon coach Ken Mendiola, Takbo #ParaSaLife caters to all levels of runners with race categories of 1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K.
With this initiative, HCPH strengthens its commitment to empowering Filipinos to live more rewarding lives. Beyond offering financial solutions, the company seeks to promote holistic well-being—encompassing physical, mental, and emotional health—by creating opportunities for communities to come together and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
“Home Credit is committed to empowering Filipinos to live the life they deserve, and this extends beyond financial well-being. Beyond providing financial services, with this run we are encouraging Filipinos to improve their overall well-being, enabling them to do more #ParaSaLife,” Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of HCPH said.
Takbo #ParaSaLife is open to all participants, from HCPH employees, family, friends, and customers to fitness enthusiasts and those beginning their wellness journey. Registration fees vary by race distance: PhP500 for the 1K, PhP900 for the 3K, PhP1,000 for the 5K, and PhP1,200 for the 10K. Each category includes exciting perks such as an event shirt, finisher’s medal, loot bag, and bib holder, depending on the selected distance.
“This initiative is about more than just running. It is about building a community that supports one another in achieving better health and wellness. We hope this event will inspire individuals to build lasting, healthy habits that empower them to achieve more life goals,” Paul added.
Freebies await all participants, and podium finishers in the 10K, 5K, and 3K race categories can look forward to exciting cash prizes. Winners in the 10K category will each receive PhP10,000, with PhP8,000 awarded to second place and PhP6,000 to third. In the 5K category, the first-place winners will take home PhP6,000, followed by PhP3,000 for second place and PhP2,000 for third. For the 3K category, the champion will earn PhP3,000, while second and third place will receive PhP1,500 and PhP1,000, respectively.
Events like the Takbo #ParaSaLife are more crucial than ever, especially in light of recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO) that highlighted the global rise in physical inactivity, a major risk factor for chronic diseases. The Philippines is among the countries with the highest rates, with 39.7 percent of the population affected by the lack of physical activity.
